Princeton Tigers football
–
Princeton’s football program—along with the football program at nearby Rutgers University—is the oldest in the world. The schools competed in American footballs first intercollegiate contest in 1869, students from The College of New Jersey traveled to New Brunswick, New Jersey on November 6,1869 to play Rutgers College in a new variant of rugby called football. Rutgers won the inaugural game 6 runs to 4 runs, a week later, Rutgers students traveled to Princeton, New Jersey for a rematch, which Princeton won. Due in part to their invention of the sport, the Tigers were one of the dominant forces in the days of intercollegiate football. The Tigers won their last national championship in 1950 when Dick Kazmaier, the policy further insulated Princeton and the Ivy League from the national spotlight. Despite an undefeated season in 1964, Princeton was not among the top 10 teams in the season-ending AP Poll, the NCAA split Division I collegiate football into two subdivisions in 1978, then called I-A for larger schools, and I-AA for the smaller ones. The NCAA had devised the split, in part, with the Ivy League in mind, unable to play competitively against long-time rival Rutgers anymore, Princeton stopped scheduling them as a football opponent after 1980. Then in 1982 the NCAA created a rule that stated an average attendance must be at least 15,000 to qualify for I-A membership. This forced the hand, as only some of the member schools met the attendance qualification. Choosing to stay rather than stand their ground separately in the increasingly competitive I-A subdivision. Despite often finishing its seasons ranked in the subdivision, Princeton cannot play in the NCAA Division I Football Championship per Ivy League rules. Most recently, Princeton instituted a coaching change as ten-year coach Roger Hughes was replaced by Cincinnati Bengals assistant offensive line coach Bob Surace. Surace was an All-Ivy league center at Princeton and graduated in 1990, beginning in 2018 Princeton will play Penn in their final game, intensifying the already heated rivalry between these two neighboring Ivy League schools.

Cambridge was incorporated as a city in 1846, the citys commercial center began to shift from Harvard Square to Central Square, which became the downtown of the city around this time. The coming of the railroad to North Cambridge and Northwest Cambridge then led to three changes in the city, the development of massive brickyards and brickworks between Massachusetts Ave. For many decades, the citys largest employer was the New England Glass Company, by the middle of the 19th century it was the largest and most modern glassworks in the world

Manhattan
–
Manhattan is the most densely populated borough of New York City, its economic and administrative center, and the citys historical birthplace. The borough is coextensive with New York County, founded on November 1,1683, Manhattan is often described as the cultural and financial capital of the world and hosts the United Nations Headquarters. Many multinational media conglomerates are based in the borough and it is historically documented to have been purchased by Dutch colonists from Native Americans in 1626 for 60 guilders which equals US$1062 today. New York County is the United States second-smallest county by land area, on business days, the influx of commuters increases that number to over 3.9 million, or more than 170,000 people per square mile. Manhattan has the third-largest population of New York Citys five boroughs, after Brooklyn and Queens, the City of New York was founded at the southern tip of Manhattan, and the borough houses New York City Hall, the seat of the citys government. The name Manhattan derives from the word Manna-hata, as written in the 1609 logbook of Robert Juet, a 1610 map depicts the name as Manna-hata, twice, on both the west and east sides of the Mauritius River. The word Manhattan has been translated as island of hills from the Lenape language. The United States Postal Service prefers that mail addressed to Manhattan use New York, NY rather than Manhattan, the area that is now Manhattan was long inhabited by the Lenape Native Americans. In 1524, Florentine explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano – sailing in service of King Francis I of France – was the first European to visit the area that would become New York City. It was not until the voyage of Henry Hudson, an Englishman who worked for the Dutch East India Company, a permanent European presence in New Netherland began in 1624 with the founding of a Dutch fur trading settlement on Governors Island. In 1625, construction was started on the citadel of Fort Amsterdam on Manhattan Island, later called New Amsterdam, the 1625 establishment of Fort Amsterdam at the southern tip of Manhattan Island is recognized as the birth of New York City. In 1846, New York historian John Romeyn Brodhead converted the figure of Fl 60 to US$23, variable-rate myth being a contradiction in terms, the purchase price remains forever frozen at twenty-four dollars, as Edwin G. Burrows and Mike Wallace remarked in their history of New York. Sixty guilders in 1626 was valued at approximately $1,000 in 2006, based on the price of silver, Straight Dope author Cecil Adams calculated an equivalent of $72 in 1992. In 1647, Peter Stuyvesant was appointed as the last Dutch Director General of the colony, New Amsterdam was formally incorporated as a city on February 2,1653. In 1664, the English conquered New Netherland and renamed it New York after the English Duke of York and Albany, the Dutch Republic regained it in August 1673 with a fleet of 21 ships, renaming the city New Orange. Manhattan was at the heart of the New York Campaign, a series of battles in the early American Revolutionary War. The Continental Army was forced to abandon Manhattan after the Battle of Fort Washington on November 16,1776. The city, greatly damaged by the Great Fire of New York during the campaign, became the British political, British occupation lasted until November 25,1783, when George Washington returned to Manhattan, as the last British forces left the city

Princeton University Stadium
–
Princeton University Stadium is a stadium in Princeton, New Jersey, United States. It is primarily used for American football, and is the field of the Princeton Tigers. The stadium opened in 1998 on the site of Princetons former stadium, Palmer Stadium, the year and a half needed to tear down Palmer Stadium and build the new field where it had stood meant that Princeton would not have an operational stadium for the 1997 season. Because of this the team was forced to play all of its games on the road, the stadiums exterior shell mirrors the layout of Palmer Stadium, and the grandstands are four sided, with a second deck added on all sides except the south. The press box and luxury boxes are located above the upper deck. One of the stadiums structural pillars houses the Universitys new rock-climbing wall, in addition to the stadium itself, the building project included building a track to the immediate south of the venue, which shares the stadiums south end facilities. Recently, FieldTurf was installed replacing the grass surface at Princeton Stadium. This announcement was made in early 2006, and allowed the team to complete its spring practice in the stadium. Princetons sprint football team holds most of its practices inside the stadium, while the team holds practices on the neighboring Campbell. Investor and 1979 alumnus William C, Powers, a former All-Ivy punter for the Tigers, made a $10 million gift to Princetons football program, which is the largest donation ever to Princeton athletics. His donation funded a playing surface for the stadium field, in honor of Powers and his family, the University will name Princeton Stadiums game field Powers Field.

1869 New Jersey vs. Rutgers football game
–
The 1869 New Jersey vs. Rutgers football game was a college football game between the College of New Jersey and the Rutgers Queensmen played on November 6,1869. The games rules were based on the London Football Associations early set of rules, part of the first season of college football ever played, the game took place on November 6,1869, at College Field in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Because the game was played at a Rutgers field, it was played under Rutgers rules. Rutgers won the game by a score of 6 runs to Princetons 4, the game was played in front of approximately 100 spectators. The teams played 10 games against each other, when a team scored one time, it counted as the end of the game, and the team with the most goals after play was completed was considered the winner. The game was played under a variation of the rules of the Football Association. As the first of the 10 games began, two players each of the teams positioned themselves near the opponents goal. This was presumably because the participants were hoping to score when the ball reached their territory on the field of play. On each team, there were eleven so-called fielders who were assigned to defend their own territorial area, there were 12 participants on each team that they named bulldogs who were the ones playing in the other teams territory. At some point early in the contest, the flying wedge play was first used as the team with the ball formed what is considered a wall-like formation and this flying wedge tactic was successful early on for Rutgers because of their perceived size disadvantage over Princeton. However, Princeton countered the tactic with a participant named J. E. Michael, Big Mike had broken up the Rutgers flying wedge play during the fourth game, and Princeton took advantage at that moment as they were able to tie the overall score at 2-2. A Rutgers player named Madison M. Ball, a veteran of the American Civil War, used his quickness. When the ball would enter Rutgers territory, Madison would get in front of it, Ball was able to successfully use that play to set up Dixon to score another goal which gave Rutgers a 4-2 games lead. Rutgers then allowed Princeton to score a goal as one of their players and it was blocked by a Rutgers player, but Princeton soon was able to take advantage to cut the lead down to 4-3. Princeton scored on their possession when they used a flying wedge play of their own led by Big Mike as they were able to march down the field to score to tie the game at 4. Rutgers captain John W. Leggett had a strategy for his team at this point and he suggested that the Rutgers team keep the ball low on the ground to counter the much taller players on Princetons team. This strategy appeared to work as Rutgers easily scored the two goals of the contest to win the first intercollegiate football game ever played 6-4. Princeton had more size which would normally be an advantage on a field with 50 total players, after the game, an eye witness named John W. Herbert said that he thought Rutgers was the smaller team, but that they had more speed than Princeton

1922 Princeton vs. Chicago football game
–
The 1922 Princeton vs. Chicago football game, played October 28,1922, was a college football game between the Princeton Tigers and Chicago Maroons. The hotly contested match-up was the first game to be broadcast nationwide on radio and it was to be the national champion of 1922, and in this game received its nickname, Team of Destiny, from Grantland Rice. It was the first college game to feature an intersectional audience on radio. The game was broadcast from KYW, a Westinghouse radio station in Chicago, to WEAF, an American Telephone & Telegraph station in New York City, historian Ronald Smith has called it probably the most important radio broadcast up to that point. Fullback John Webster Thomas scored Chicagos three touchdowns, one in each of the first three quarters, but the failed to score an extra point for any of them. Walter Camp wrote in picking Thomas first-team All-American, It is safe to say he did far more against the Princeton line in effective scoring than did any backs of the East who met the Tigers. With 12 minutes to play and Chicago nursing an 18–7 lead, Howdy Gray of Princeton picked up a Jimmy Pyott fumble, grays father, the president of the Union Pacific Railroad, reacted by waving his program in the air, striking a woman in the shoulder. After an additional Princeton touchdown was scored, Chicago responded with a drive ending in a goal line stand with Thomas falling short of the goal. Halfback Harry Maud Crum scored Princetons other touchdowns, at one point late in the game, Chicago assistant Fritz Crisler implored Amos Stagg to send in Alonzo Jr. at quarterback to call an end run. Ever the sportsman, Stagg flatly refused, citing afterwards the rules committee deprecates the use of a substitute to convey information, both teams finished the contest badly exhausted, especially Princeton, as during the last half of the game the heat was oppressive. The Princeton Alumni Weekly noted, If this game proved anything at all it proved that a fine forward passing game can defeat a fine line-plunging game, college football on radio 1922 college football season 1921 West Virginia vs. Pittsburgh football game
